I don't get why Suns are including pick 23 for Rioli. Surely pick 6 is enough.

Some Melbourne club may get an easy OR game in 2025

I bet its Collingwood or Carlton that will get the Giants early.

Absolutely ridiculous.

Until I read this, obviously nothing will happen trade wise until 2pm AEDT

Sadly I'd be surprised if he pies missed the 8 next year.

Pies success in ‘25 seems to hinge on Pendles,Ironarse,Howe and Cox maintaining contributions which might be in doubt

Reading the Eagles board and if we think our whipping boys cop it, Matt Owies and to a lesser extent Liam Baker

have massive whipping boy targets on their backs and they haven’t even walked into their club particularly Owies who is a lesser light.

Saw highlights of Bo Allan a Peel player on Trading Day; looks a nice mover and I hope for the Eagles sake they can land him.

Based off these valuations of pretty average players this trade period I honestly wonder if Tom Cutler

getting his third AA by pure virtue of being a Collingwood player in 25. If getting one in 24 was easy despite missing a bunch of games and being nowhere near as effective as 23, imagine how easy it will be at Collingwood with 90% of the selection committee in Melbourne.

Let’s be honest, Starcevich doesn’t have a hope in hell irrespective of how good he’s been.

If Harris Andrews was at a big Melbourne club he would be a 4 time All Australian by now... at least.

Whatever the gws players on wacky Wednesday did must have been extreme. Up to 10 players have been offered suspensions for their behaviour. Cannot have been good, and what a rubbish way for their club to start the next year.
